DominaTang created

In Abp MicroSerivce projects, if an API call triggered by UI to MicroService A Method1, and Method1 call Method2 in MicroService B. In Method2, if access CurrentTenant property, would it get the same value in Method1? This is the TenantId, CurrentUser penetrate issue across micro-services.

Thanks

    Hi,

    Currently communication between microservices uses client credentials: https://docs.abp.io/en/commercial/latest/startup-templates/microservice/synchronous-interservice-communication

    We have an internal issue with this, may be available in next version

    if access CurrentTenant property, would it get the same value in Method1

    I think that's fine, ABP will add the current tenant parameters when sending an internal request

    Tenant Id currently is in Request header or in access token? I believe UserId are in access token.

    This is a temporary solution, it should be able to pass the current user's credentials

    You can try override the HttpContextAbpAccessTokenProvider

    [Dependency(ReplaceServices = true)]
    [ExposeServices(typeof(HttpContextAbpAccessTokenProvider), typeof(IAbpAccessTokenProvider))]
    public class MyHttpContextAbpAccessTokenProvider : HttpContextAbpAccessTokenProvider
    {
       ...
       
        public virtual async Task<string?> GetTokenAsync()
        {
            var httpContext = HttpContextAccessor?.HttpContext;
            if (httpContext == null)
            {
                return null;
            }
        
            var token = await httpContext.GetTokenAsync("access_token");
            if (token != null)
            {
                return token;
            }
        
            token = httpContext.Request.Headers["Authorization"];
            if (!token.IsNullOrWhiteSpace() && token.Contains("Bearer "))
            {
                return token.Replace("Bearer ", "");
            }
        
            return null;
        }
    }

    We decided to cancel this because of the following reasons

    This is a request flow as you mentioned:

    Assuming WebApp/SwaggerUI is authenticated and got an access_token and making a request to an endpoint at gateway that automatically redirects to the related microservice (MicroserviceA). In this request, MicroserviceA makes a request to the MicroserviceB using HttpApi.Client and client proxy (or gRPC).

    The problem:

    • The request is done by a user, since it is coming from Web; it is either Hybrid flow or AuthorizationCode flow. What if the user with the permission to make a request to MicroserviceA doesn't have permission for the MicroserviceB? If you grant permission to user (or role the user has), it will cause different problems on the UI.

    Microservice terminology:

    Apart from my explanation to this specific approach, the request flow we are discussing is not Synchronous Communication between Microservices

    This is the synchronous communication between microservices:

    No UI, no user information; two servers talking to each other.

    We assume, think or design that microservice with authorization. The oidc standarts for this kind interactions should use client_credentials flow. We have related ABP packages to make it easy to use (Abp.IdentityModel) for it. The problem with authorization is Client_Credentials permission type was in the IdentityServer package which shouldn't be specific to IdentityServer. Client_Credentials is valid for all OIDC providers, so we can simply add it to OpenIddict aswell and keep using it.

    Why do we need access_token in the first place?

    Since the synchronous communication between microservices happens in an internal network and moreover, the microservice-to-microservice request maybe slightly or completely different from a UI request; it is better to use Integration Services without caring about authentication. It will be created for the only purpose to server internal requests.
